  Case: Parents who do not value education.
In my three years of teaching, I can honestly say that I have had more parent conferences without the parent than I have had with the parent. It is very sad. I cannot imagine how it makes the child feel that their parent did not care enough to come. There are several students who will admit that they do not care about school, and it is not important. These students apparently do not value education because their parents do not value it in the home. The do not stress the importance of school at home. What can we do to encourage parents to encourage their kids.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One possible way is to have more parent events after hours at school. Make them be reasons for parents to actually come. For example, have door prizes. Incentives work on anyone! Also, once there, give them ideas on how to help their children at home. I know in my district, many students live with grandparents that are unable to read. Find out if this is the case in your students' homes and offer information for this to them. It is very difficult to reach these parents, but any creative way can help!

Comments: If the parents are not involved and do not value education, I think that it will be hard to get them out to the schools to participate in events. I think the best idea is to get to know what the home environment is like and then get a counselor involved and see if something can be done.

Comments: This is a great idea! My school always had events like this that involved the parents and most of them either worked it or came to it. Creativity is the key!
